Re: [Networking] Advice needed for Direcway Home Network Yes, any wireless NIC should be compatible with a NetGear WAP provided you are using the same wireless protocol, ie 802.11b or 802.11a. The two protocols do not talk to each other. 802.11G talks to both, I believe but is considerably more expensive.
There is a SSID identity which you will have to enter manually if you do not use equipment from the same manufacturer. Linksys defaults to SSID "linksys", Netgear probably defaults to something similar. Easy enough to change.
Whatever equipment you use there may be some configuration of the WAP. Mine hooked up to the host computer initially by a USB cable which was disconnected once it was configured. I think most are using HTML interface now.
